Nitin, husband of Telugu actress Jayasudha, was undergoing treatment for depression in an upscale
Andheri hospital. He was staying with his sister’s family at the building Sea
Glimpse on JP Road, from whose terrace he took the extreme step. The
incident took place at around 1.45 pm after Nitin left his sister’s flat,
saying he wanted to take a walk and get some fresh air.

Nitin, 58, had been unemployed for 18 years and for the past
one-and-a-half years, had been suffering from depression. For a month, he had
been undergoing treatment in the psychiatric department at Kokilaben Hospital. The
incident took place minutes after he returned from the hospital after a routine
check-up.

According to the police, no suicide note was recovered from
the spot. There was nothing suspicious to hint at a conspiracy. “He was
undergoing treatment in Mumbai since a year and a half year. Kapoor was staying
at his sister’s residence in Versova. There is no foul play in the incident
however we are conducting a thorough investigation,” Mumbai Police spokesperson
Ashok Dudhe was quoted as saying.

Nitin’s family, who resides in Hyderabad, has been informed
of his demise and the body will be handed over after conducting an autopsy. The
Versova police have registered a case of accidental death report in connection
with the incident and the body has been sent for post-mortem.

Speaking to India Today over the phone, Jeetendra said, “He
was my first cousin. I had not met him for a long time. I don't know why he was
not meeting me. He was avoiding me. His father was really close to me. He was
like a father for me. I was away for a meeting. It was when my flight landed at
around 8.40 pm that I came to know about this. I am in Delhi and am depressed
to learn about this."
